These guys have had 12 years now to make America better, stronger, and brighter. The last 6 years, they've had the benefit of their own president. Yet, here we are, fighting a war we can't seem to win, while watching millions of illegals coming across our borders. We're seeing the poor and elderly forced to make tough decisions due to huge increases to health care and energy costs. We're incurring deficits and debts never seen in the history of mankind. All this while corporations and the rich rake it in like never before. So heres the question: outside of the $300 bribe they sent out a few years ago, what exactly have the republicans done to make this country better?

Although I'm not an American and I can't have an opinion I wish you permit me to say that I feel so sorry for the Americans that they have to suffer all this humiliation due to unsufficient politicians. America was and still is the country that rules the planet. BUT AT LEAST SOME YEARS AGO, EVERYONE WANTED TO JOIN THE america. Now you are afraid to even visit for vacation.

The war in Iraq has been hexed from the beginning. And we were pressured by media to fight a politically correct war so Saddam's cohorts are still actively choosing deaths for others in Iraq, and made it stable for terrorist influx. Saddam sent his highest nuclear official to Niger twice (twice!) Niger exports only one product. Spent uranium. [That was the covered and hidden findings of Valerie Plain's hubby.] All nation's intelligence said Saddam had wmd's. Not just GW Bush. The oil rich govs which do not share their nation's great wealth with her people, tells them instead that the U.S. has stolen it, and has dominated all countries she fought in wars to protect. Except Japan, I guess. With their vast wealth they put forth this propaganda til even america's friends and citizens believe it. You can put more and more controls over business, but all that will result in is lots and lots of job loss, and then loss of productivity and then collapse. That's why conservatives like free enterprise better than government programs. More government programs mean ever bigger and bigger government.. and less produvctivity, til you have a Stalin like situation, where productivity is stagnant, and thus again collapse. Mark my words. America is tearing down her country in many ways. And what has the conservative to offer? A small slowing down of that process is all. New and more government programs is not the answer. Government and bereaucracy and government jobs are too much and too many already. The solution? Get rid of lobbyism. Period. [THEN straighten out health insurance.] If you raise taxes and impose penalties on profits, you just back pedal the economy, jobs and productivity. Oh and the second biggest problem is all the partisan bickering and propagandas which constantly--villainizes* the other party for the sake of votes. And we fall for it.
